Truth.

After I killed that man, I decided to walk back to my class. I really had no excuse to tell my teacher as to why I was covered in blood or why I ran out of class I had no plan. I was so tired I wanted to die a second time. But before I could reach my classroom a pool of blood spurted out of the ground and up came Alice to intercept me before I could get there. " Hey, you look more dead then you already were. " she said with a solemn expression. " Nice to see you too, Alice." I replied. I walked towards her with all the strength I had left and fell into her arms. And as I slipped away into sleep she said " Don't worry Ray, I'll take care of everything. " and with that being said I fell asleep.

I was here again, the dark void. I could smell it. The monster that spoke last time. It was more sinister this time almost as if whatever it was, was getting closer and closer. It sent a chill down my spine to think about what was creeping closer to me. I finally gained enough courage to shout into the void. " What are you! " I shouted into the darkness. It responded with " I am you. " in a deep monstrous voice. Once again it spoke. " Oh? Do you not recognize me? That's a shame. " I responded " What do you mean by your me?"

Apparently that thing that claimed to be me found what I ask to be amusing because it started laughing. " Think about it, Alice has tried her blood transfusion on many humans. But the only one to have had survived one was you. Why is that? Well that is because your not human at all. I am you, you are me. " before I could voice my frustrations towards the monster I woke up.

I was soaked in sweat and my head hurt like I had been hit by a truck. I could barely see my vision was all blurry. But whatever I was laying on felt nice and warm. My vision started adjusting again and as everything stopped getting blurry I noticed that Alice was hanging over above me asleep. I sat up and looked over where I was laying and it turned out I had been laying on her lap. I smiled a bit " I guess she does care about me just a little bit. " Apparently I had said that a little too loud because she awoke and said " Your pretty dumb you know that? " I replied " Now what makes you say that. " Alice looked up and down at me with annoyance and said" Who would willingly run into a situation where you were more then sure to be killed. " " Ah but that's where your wrong Alice, you already killed me remember? " I replied in snobby way. " That doesn't mean you can't die again. " She stated. " You lost way too much blood Ray. You really almost did die again. " I disregarded what she had said to me and quickly remembered what that thing had said. " Hey Alice, why did you pick me to be your successor, and why am I the only one to have survived the transfusion. " She stayed silent for awhile and then finally said something " Ray, when I first glimpsed in your eyes at you in that bathroom there was something different about you, something inhuman. And for why you survived the transfusion I'm assuming that has something to do with it. The reason I attacked you was because I thought you were a *Wicked*. " What do you mean?" I asked " I didn't attack you originally to give you the transfusion. I thought you were a *Wicked*. "

Millions of question were going through my mind. Me a *Wicked*? I've never been special or had any supernatural strength before why would I be a wicked?! " By the look on your face I can see your confused, the reason I thought you were a * Wicked * is because they give off very distinct signals, signals only*Wicked* give off. Your signal was very faint but still there, I thought you were a high ranked trying to suppress your signal, and I attacked without a second more of talking to you. After I had pierced your heart I determined that you weren't a high ranker, and so I did my blood transfusion in hope it would save your life which it did. But I don't know if it was because your completely human. " What are you trying to say Alice? " I said. " Ray I'm not saying anything just try and dig deeper in your origin, your adopted aren't you?"

" What? " I asked. " Oh, you didn't know? Sorry your adopted. " she said. " How do you even know I'm adopted?" I asked " Well I took a sample of your blood and your moms, they simply did not match its one of my blood manipulation techniques. " I didn't care about how she found out anymore. As soon as she said she touched my mom a pure sense of rage came over, and before I knew it I had slit my wrist and formed a knife and pressed it to her throat and said " If you ever touch her again, I swear to god I will kill you. " I knew it was an empty threat, I knew she could kill me any moment and at that moment she was sparing my life at her grace but I didn't care. Suddenly with a swift movement she had disarmed me and had grabbed me by the throat and lifted me up and said " Don't test me boy I have lived thousands of your lifetimes, usually anyone who would've done that would be dead ten times over next time you threaten me I won't hesitate to cripple you. " " Tch " I grunted through my teeth. I managed to form a spear out of the blood all over the ground that had been spilled from my wrist. The spear floated almost like I was using telekinesis, too bad it only worked with blood. With my hand that wasn't pinned to the wall, I lifted up my unpinned hand and with my pointer and middle finger I flicked them back towards myself and so the spear propelled right towards me and so Alice dropped unpinned me and so I used that as an opening before she could dodge I wrapped my arms around her so she couldn't move, and so we were both impaled. So I thought, before I knew it I was looking at the wall where we were standing and the spear stuck in the wall where we had been.

" Good try, Ray. I really didn't expect the kamikaze strategy from you. " she said calmly as she brushed herself off. " What just happened? " I said. " I was testing you, your skills have developed even without my training. " I looked at her with a blank stare and did a nervous smile. "Don't worry I don't have any hard feelings toward you, Ray I knew taking blood from your mother would set you off. " " Could you not have just did a spar with me or something then?" I asked. " No sparring doesn't bring out your instincts nor does it really simulate an actually fight. But look! " She said and pointing to my wrist and I didn't even notice but it had healed on its own. " Your already pretty good Ray, and with my training you'll be able to face low rankers pretty soon. " she said. " Oh yeah, your training starts tomorrow by the way! " she said with an expressive smile.
